	Top SF Chronicle Recipe: Pasta with Broccoli and Spicy Sausage by John Spottiswood Our good friend Linda Hansen saved this top recipe from the SF Chronicle in 2004 and it has become one of her and our favorites. It was created at the Last Supper Club restaurant in San Francisco. We've adapted the pasta, broccoli, and sausage…	10 votes 8 reviews 1 comment 7837 views
	Amazing Red Lentil and Tomato Soup by John Spottiswood I never thought I would have a red lentil soup that could match the Turkish red lentil soup that I have been served in Turkish restaurants and that I've learned to make. So I had low expectations for this Indian spiced version. It completely destroyed my expectations and was absolutely delicious. It was great last night, and I had…	6 votes 3 reviews 7 comments 5805 views
	Creole Pralines by Amos Miller Better than a cookie (sorry bakers, but this is a Creole group) and with the true taste of New Orleans, Creole Pralines are one of the signature treats in the Big Easy! It is time to play 'soft ball', and we're not talking the sport - we're talking Creole candy. When the recipe calls for your concoction on the stove to reach the…	5 votes 2 reviews 4 comments 10219 views
	Marinated Asparagus by Robyn Savoie This versatile recipe made with fresh asparagus can be made year around. Serve it cold or warm as side with any meal. My favorite way to serve this is grilling it. It produces rave reviews every time. Even from guests who may not be fans of asparagus.	5 votes 1 review 1 comment 13443 views
	Green Beans, New Potatoes and Bacon by Salad Foodie A delicious side to serve with meat, or as a main luncheon dish with salad. Honestly I could almost eat a whole plateful of this! It is so simple but so tasty. First run-through I followed the recipe exactly from Homestyle Amish Kitchen Cookbook by Harvest House Publishers 2010. Having made it several times since I made only minor…	3 votes 4 comments 12506 views
	Carrot and Ginger Soup by Grains of Hope This is a hearty warming soup, filled with vitamin A and herbs which will prepare your respiratory system for exposure to colds and flu. It has a subtle curry flavor.	3 votes 1 review 2913 views
	Almost A Borscht Soup by Glenn I wanted a hearty soup for lunch and had a left-over half head of boiled cabbage. What else could I do but go wild adding borschtish ingredients until I almost lost track. Bottom line, if you don't have an ingredient just leave it out or substitute something else. Have fun and be surprised, like I was, that this came out tasting…	3 votes 2 reviews 3 comments 5560 views
	Pamplemousse Martini by Karen A light grapefruit based cocktail that even the men will enjoy. A spin on the cosmopolitan, combining grapefruit and pomegranate juice.	3 votes 4188 views
	Italian Wedding Soup with Turkey Meatballs by Salad Foodie Italian-American in origin, this soup was really misnamed. “Wedding soup” is a mistranslation of the Italian language for 'minestra maritata', a reference to the fact that greens and meat go well together. (Well that’s a good marriage isn’t it?) I looked at several recipes of this popular soup, selected aspects of a few, added some…	2 votes 2 comments 15729 views
	Peach Rum Sauce by Salad Foodie Lip-smacking delicious! A spoonful of this delicately flavored luscious sauce turns ordinary desserts into memorable treats. Warm and serve over ice cream, or use for French toast or your morning breakfast bread. The first time I made this recipe (found on freshpreserving.com) I was skeptically cautious, canning it in small jars to…	2 votes 1 review 1 comment 5427 views
	Quinoa with Fresh Corn and Mint by John Spottiswood This is a great quinoa dish to serve alongside fish or chicken. I have grown to love quinoa, and it is perfect for this dish. But this would also be great with Israeli cous cous, regular cous cous, pearl barley or even jasmine rice if you are not a fan of quinoa. The mix of flavors is amazing! Try this when fresh corn is cheap and…	2 votes 1 review 1 comment 1830 views
	mashed potatoes by david spottiswood These are special, and go well with the pan gravy recipe I am posting. Using Yukon Gold potatoes, you can either leave all the skins on, or, as I do, peel half the potatoes. This recipe is for four. I omit the salt if serving with the pan gravy (the bacon makes the gravy salty enough)	2 votes 1 review 2 comments 1958 views
